PENTATHLON

The Pentathlon became an Olympic sport with the addition of wrestling in 708 B.C., and included the following:

RUNNING / JUMPING / DISCUS THROW

Running

Running contests included:

the stade race, which was the pre-eminent test of speed, covering the Olympia track from one end to the other (200m foot race),

the diaulos (two stades - 400m foot race),

dolichos (ranging between 7 and 24 stades).

JUMPING

Athletes used stone or lead weights called halteres to increase the distance of a jump. They held onto the weights until the end of their flight, and then jettisoned them backwards.

DISCUS THROW

The discus was originally made of stone and later of iron, lead or bronze. The technique was very similar to today's freestyle discus throw.

IOC

WRESTLING

This was highly valued as a form of military exercise without weapons. It ended only when one of the contestants admitted defeat.

IOC

BOXING

Boxers wrapped straps (himantes) around their hands to strengthen their wrists and steady their fingers. Initially, these straps were soft but, as time progressed, boxers started using hard leather straps, often causing disfigurement of their opponent's face.

IOC

PANKRATION

This was a primitive form of martial art combining wrestling and boxing, and was considered to be one of the toughest sports. Greeks believed that it was founded by Theseus when he defeated the fierce Minotaur in the labyrinth.

EQUESTRIAN EVENTS

These included horse races and chariot races and took place in the Hippodrome, a wide, flat, open space.
